A woman who yearns for stability is deceived and hurt by men again and again, which makes people feel pity. Why Kabylia was always robbed and almost died, in addition to her naive character, there was also the economic recession and social unrest after the defeat of Italy as a fascist country after World War II, which was reflected in the historical background at that time. Some of the people in the film can only live in caves. Even in the film, Kabylia often mentions that the house she bought was a small stone house in the countryside. The film opens with Kabylia being pushed down the river, echoing the ending of the film, which serves as a foreshadowing, making the audience worry about the woman's fate. There are many insinuations of social reality in the film. As a woman, Kabylia was ridiculed and entertained by men in the film. It can be seen that the status of women at that time was unequal, not to mention that Kabylia was still a prostitute. It can be clearly felt in the play of the theater. When Kabylia asked the Virgin to want to change her status quo, she found that it was still the same, so she wanted to escape from the place where she lived. But her innocence and desire attract people with bad intentions, they use love to confuse her, deceive him and want to hurt her, and in the end she goes bankrupt and falls into despair, but I think the best thing about this drama is that the director gives We gave us a glimmer of hope, and finally when the children sang happily around Kabylia, people believed that good things would still appear.
